VRT on a 2009 Nissan Micra from the UK?

Hi,

If I bought an 09 Nissan Micra from the UK for £2,000 what would the VRT rate be please?

Hi Jason,

Sadly, it matters not what you paid for it, but what the car would be worth here in Ireland. A 2009 Micra is going to be worth around €3,500 on the Irish market (assuming it's in excellent condition with a full service history) and that model has CO₂ emissions of 139g/km. That puts it in VRT Band B3, which means you have to pay 19 per cent of the Irish market value, which would work out at roughly €665.
